RUNNING FOR HER LIFE
After witnessing the murder of her child’s father, Rochelle Miller flees. Ten years later, she and her son are still on the run. Now, the killer has tracked them to Montana and will do anything to silence Rochelle. When he gets too close, Rochelle is seriously injured, and EMT Matthew Stewart is the first responder on the scene. He vows to protect her, but it’s not just her life on the line. Rochelle and her son have only ever counted on each other. Are they ready to rely on someone new when their future is at stake?
“What if the police say that there is no reason to provide protection?” Rochelle asked.
Again, Matthew wondered exactly what she was up against. She looked as though she might cry. Compassion flooded through him. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I’ll stay with you now. You need to focus on your recovery.”
She looked up at him for a long moment, probably trying to figure out why he was going to all this trouble. “Can I have your phone, so I can call my son? I need to know that he’s okay.”
He placed the phone in her hand. “Everything is going to be all right. I’ll see to it that you get well so you can take care of that kid of yours. It would help if you told me why these men are after you—”
Matthew heard the thud of a single footstep. The blow to the back of his head caused an explosion in his brain.
The last thing he heard as his cheek collided with the floor was Rochelle’s anguished scream.

Questions for Discussion
Rochelle Miller stopped dead in her tracks when she spotted Elwood Corben across the wide corridor of the courthouse where she worked. She took in a deep breath to clear her head as her anxiety level skyrocketed. Why, after ten years, had the man she’d fled Seattle over shown up in Montana? It couldn’t be coincidence. Elwood Corben had hunted her down. But why now, after all this time?
Elwood was speaking to a police officer, their heads bent close together in a very cozy way. She thought to slip into a room before he saw her, but fear paralyzed her. Elwood caught her staring, grinned at her and walked across the corridor. Each of his footsteps seemed to crush her further into the floor.
His face was all teeth and narrow snakelike eyes. His dyed hair couldn’t hide that he was a man past sixty. “Megan, how good to see you.”
Even changing her first and last name hadn’t kept him away. He must have hired a detective to find her. She’d thought she’d been careful in covering her tracks, but she’d been only sixteen when she’d run from him and hadn’t had the resources or know-how to do a thorough job in changing her identity.
Rochelle laced her fingers together to hide how badly they were shaking. Though Elwood Corben wouldn’t harm her with all
